So sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom.  Many years ago, my future husband and I worked with Della at the Pennsupreme in Neffsville.  We started dating the year we were seniors at Manheim Twp, and have now been married for almost 34 years.  Della was so sweet and both of us remember her fondly.  Her smile would light up the whole room.  We pray that God will comfort you in this time of grief.
